So lets start negetive opinions :
first , SHK has a very unfriendly community! most people doesn't even bother to answer you many others dont bother to speak English(and i think i read in the rules that in Global worlds english is a must) the mailing system itself is out dated and not at all efficient. I made at least 50 attempts on getting in contact with people and that mostly failed miserably! overall a new player is always stuck between pro players high on cards and 99% of them dosen't care enough to even answer your mail.
Second , odd thing about this game is its quite in favor of the attacker. companies usually try and set things in defender favor so less people are forced to leave their account and more active players remain in the game. but this game is just like go attackers and do whatever you want! the honor penalty that exist is simply far from enough! its just like a mild punishment for attacking players weaker than you. i used to play a MMO that had a moral system in which when we were attacking small players our troops lost at least half of their efficiency and we also was charged a ton of ingame gold. the system FORCED us to pick people at our size or pay a very HIGH price. but here its like eh lets kick his ummm face? and play some banqueting cards
) and i seen a lot of players here complain about having dead worlds when the early eras pass! well here is your reason your game mechanism let you destroy the player base quite rapidly and when they are gone some huge guys that can't touch each other are left and bored to death!Third , this game ruin! your life with its fast pace! I mean come on! people can see when you are active on map. they can see you scouting or moving troops around when you are active its quite obvious on map and when you are not is obvious as well.now lets say you are in Canada. as soon as they see you are sleep or away they can run a various superspeed cards and a player from very south of US can cap you in like lets say 7hours! and interdict again like honor penalty is just not efficient enough! actually this is one of the few real time strategy games that you can't have anyone from your faction on your account when you are not around! i mean i used to play another game and they had a feature named "account sitting" when you were away someone else could take control of your account to some degree... enough keep an eye on your account.he/she had enough control at least to defend you if it became essential! but here when in war you should spend like 400 faith on your three villages to interdict them and still go to bed praying you see your village tomorrow morning!! that aside this speed up cards are very painful! armies cross countries and reach you in 1 hour! i mean you may leave for lunch and come back and find out all your troops are dead! its quite common to keep armies slow enough that the defender actually FIND enough time to react! but here we have like 6x speed cards(quite CHEAP) to top that a army can already be hyped with 500% forced march.
Fourth , what is with defense?
so the enemy can lunch 5 waves of attack each containing 350-400 troops and a ton of captain advantages. and the defender can only place well lets say he tries his best 470 troops inside castle.well you do the math! with good timing on attacker side 1750 troops is right behind your walls and you have 350 archers on the wall lol now add arrow volley and other crazy stuff captains do as well to this. i agree taking "defense" , sally forth , towers and traps and also tunneler and other stuff like this in the equation its not that one sided but yet the defender is doomed when it comes to large forces. they come destroy your guard houses you already was outnumbered and guess what you now have to wait like 1 year without cards and 3months with cards lol to rebuild them to even have a chance against another wave which will shortly follow on SUPERSPEED
) that make you depressed miserable and even suicidal! might add more stuff to this later.
